HK BNOs wrote a letter to the UK Home Secretary over repressive anti-protest laws 
. I'd love them to try invading the parliament there. I genuinely wonder how the UK will react to that.
Hongkongers in Britain have called on Suella Braverman to reconsider controversial measures in her public order bill, which they likened to the repressive measures used to crack down on democratic opposition in their home city.
In a letter to the UK home secretary, aspects of the bill were described as “repressive measures that threaten to paralyse entire social movement” and posed a threat to their right to protest in Britain, including against Chinese communist repression in Hong Kong.
“Many of us are, or represent and work with, Hongkongers who have recently arrived in the UK in the hopes of a better life for ourselves and our loved ones – where we can exercise our rights and freedoms without fear,” says the letter, sent on behalf of groups and communities comprising Hongkongers and east and south-east Asian people.
“In effect, SDPOs appear to be a kind of open-air prison for people simply seeking to exercise their rights,” they claimed, referring to the new civil orders that threaten to ban named individuals – including those who have never committed a crime – from protesting. It would also subject them to curfew conditions, restrict them from using the internet in certain ways and even require them to submit to GPS tagging.
The letter was sent by Democracy for Hong Kong, a group behind protests that have drawn thousands of people in Britain, including activists at the centre of opposition activism in Hong Kong.

How can it be a warning shot, when everyone is laughing too hard?
Or those in China without a sense of humour, just ignore this completely, and gets back to work.
The first ban, meant that the US was unreliable. That was good enough.
They would have moved on by now.
Incidentally, there was a story a couple days ago, posted in this forum I believe, describing how a Chinese research institute, that was banned from buying Intel chips and Nvidia chips, were still buying them, 20 years later after being originally banned.
Seems to me this new ban against Huawei will be focused on 14nm chips. While Huawei rumoured supplier, SMIC, already can fab a 7nm chip.
Lol, those BNOers are dumb enough to still not realise that they've been sold a lemon by Boris.HK BNOs wrote a letter to the UK Home Secretary over repressive anti-protest laws

Optics, that's all about. The Biden admin needs to be seen as tough and doing something against the evil Chinese and Russian.How can it be a warning shot, when everyone is laughing too hard?

More crazy propaganda as you've mentioned @horse.
Huawei and Russia are competing Who among them have the largest sanction...lolNo ...
Does this mean ...
Does this mean there is another Huawei ban?!?
Like, WTF?!
There is one word to describe the Anglo American attempts to forestall Chinese tech self sufficiency/advancement: Impotent.
No matter what they do, the Five Eyes Anglo led world order finds itself behaving as an impotent man would behave: with rage and violence. Is it any wonder that war is now being pushed on us?
The Russian MOD is on the offensive now, letting the entire world know about the Anglo American 'gene select' bioweapons programs. The Anglos want a world where anglo-Saxon genomes predominate, hence their obsession with China's birth rates.
In fact, if you go on say, 4chan, there's a perennial theme of '14 words' of creating a world where their fantasies of white women being docile agrarian wives to their otherwise involuntary celibate existence, alongside a preoccupation with being cuckolded by africans and castration anxiety over feeling attracted to transvestites.

Research labs buying black/grey market chips is not surprising, it is a different matter when your industry needs millions
SMIC may be able to print chips at 14 and 7nm but it is still dependent on foreign inputs which may have all been banned, no one knows if the yield are high enough for industrial/competitive output and the 7nm chip printed was consider "less advance"

I wonder if Shou Zi Chew is dumb enough to think he can change anything. All it is is a circus performance to further the Republicans' agenda. They're going turn Shou Zi Chew into a clown show at his expense. For some reason there are Chinese/Asians that think they're something special... that they'll be the exception. During my activist days, I'll come across Asians fighting against racism who spurn traditional American mainstream ways to fight against it like being confrontational. Instead they think being nice and don't do anything to upset white racists will win them over. If only whites recognized how much Asians give them the benefit of the doubt.
The only thing that makes me wonder is why doesn't the US pull the trigger and already have banned TikTok completely? Are they worried they'll unleashed a sleeping dragon, not from China, but from all the young people in the US that love TikTok so much that the negative prejudices of anything Chinese has no affect. There's this prejudice that young Americans are ignorant of the realities of world so they wouldn't care but this is something that affects them directly so who knows? BTW, anyone notice now that when you type "TikTok", there's no red underline correction anymore. Usually when there's new terminology, there will be the redline underline correction that shows up until it becomes mainstream. TikTok culturally has been a part of the US for a while and still the red underline until now.
